Opta page pointed out the weakness that the Catalan team revealed in the last match.
Marching to Napoli’s field, Barcelona created a fairly balanced match. They even took the lead thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s goal, before Victor Osimhen brought the match back to the starting line.
Even though they cannot win, Barca still holds a small advantage , because they will have the right to decide the opportunity to continue right at home. Now, coach Xavi and his students need to review the pros and cons of the recent encounter to improve.
